Father McDonald, a good priest, and I'm sure a good dad. Being an altar boy, I often served mass for him.
God Bless!

I, like many of the students at AWHS, have wonderful memories of the time we spent there. The ball games and religion class all seem so long ago. Thanks for the wisdom and fortitude you instilled in us all. I know most of our successes are because of your guidance and friendship.

Our deepest sympathy to the McDonald family. Father Gene was always so gracious to those of us at AWHS. We remember his kind words and caring during our marriage preparation and celebration nearly 45 years ago. He will be with us in spirit at our 50th reunion in May. Tom and Barbara Kiernan (AWHS 1961)
